"Four fingers are severed."
"All four of them are severed."
"And it was done diagonally. It's a textbook case of finger amputation."
In the operating theater, a few doctors surrounded the patient, and they were full of curiosity.
Although they were all experienced doctors from large-scale tertiary Grade A hospitals, it was not like they had never operated on patients with four severed fingers. Ling Ran had operated on a few patients before, and he even participated in the surgery of a young girl with eight severed fingers.
However, the probability of multiple severed fingers was generally very low. It was a little like prying open a shell. You might not find a pearl with a diameter of eight millimeters in a hundred shells. If it was cut diagonally, it meant that it was extremely round.
For pearl divers, round and large pearls with a diameter of eight millimeters were not something they had never seen before, but the probability of seeing them was not high. If they occasionally appeared, it was naturally worth watching.
Of course, the rarest pearls were above nine millimeters. As the saying went, pearls with a diameter of seven millimeters were considered pearls, and pearls with a diameter of eight millimeters were considered treasures. Pearls with a diameter of nine millimeters were like patients with five severed fingers. They were something that could only be found by chance. Especially wild pearls.
"I just happened to run into one with four fingers. This is really good luck. If I didn't hear the department director on the phone, I would have thought that it was done on the spot." Zhao Leyi crossed his arms in front of his chest and wandered around the operating theater. He looked at the patient and Ling Ran at the same time.
Ling Ran's fame soared not only in the circle of doctors, but also among the circle of patients. The publicity power of performing surgery on star athletes was fully reflected at this time. There were even patients who did not understand the situation who came to Yun Hua to ask about it. There were also relatives and friends who came to ask for help.
Zhao Leyi made a joke in the operating theater, hoping to lighten the atmosphere.
Doctor Zhou chuckled. "Is it proper to do it on the spot?"
"It's the angle that the machine cut out …" Zhao Leyi moved sideways to simulate it and said, "This is the angle for a research paper. Take a look."
"It should be able to write a summary of the patient's condition. I took a picture just now." Yu Yuan stood up consciously, and she was obviously more confident than before.
After following Ling Ran, Yu Yuan had written three research papers. Although they were all normal research papers, and they were not more than the associate chief physicians or chief physicians in the hospital, it was still considered rare.
After all, the other doctors had accumulated their skills over a long period of time. Yu Yuan, on the other hand, had a lot of medical cases under Ling Ran's tutelage. With a little editing, it would naturally be easy for her to write a research paper.
In fact, a normal doctor could not perform many similar surgeries in a year, excluding minor surgeries such as tracheoscopy, tracheotomy, and debridement. If he could not get the full support of the department, or if the hospital did not have enough patients, a normal doctor could only perform one hundred similar surgeries.
In this way, it would be very difficult for an ordinary doctor to collect medical cases for one surgery in a year. Ling Ran, on the other hand, could easily accumulate the material for two research papers in a month. He did not have time to write his research papers, but in the clinical medicine system, surgeons who performed surgeries were always the core. As long as the person who wrote the research papers was the author, they would have a very harmonious relationship.
Zhao Leyi lowered his head and looked at Yu Yuan again. He felt envious.
Zhao Leyi's gaze was affectionate yet lively, greedy yet restrained. He was like an old farmer holding a donkey and looking at someone else's strong ox.
Zhao Leyi was only an attending physician now. Usually, he only urged the interns to change their medication, write medical records, buy food, and ask them to write research papers. But even then, they had to be able to write them.
For a senior resident doctor like Yu Yuan, the attending physicians could only ask her to do some chores. It was just like how the neighbors in the same village borrowed the big animals from rich families. It was fine if they occasionally did some heavy work, but it was not good to use other people's big animals to write research papers, which required a lot of mental energy. If they raised them themselves, an attending physician like Zhao Leyi would not be qualified.
He had to be able to write a few influential research papers and perform a few good surgeries by himself. Only when he became an associate chief physician could he talk about using a resident doctor to write his research papers.
If the patient with four severed fingers could be written into a research paper, it would be quite attractive to attending physicians.
However, the attending physicians in the room adhered to the style of modesty and courtesy. They neither fought nor snatched it.
After all, they did not know how to perform finger replantations …
It was even more difficult to perform finger replantations with four severed fingers.
Ling Ran circled the patient twice and looked at the MRI scan and X-ray scan. He thought for a while and said, "Ask the Hand Surgery Department to send someone over. Go and ask if Department Director Wang Haiyang is around. If he is, ask him to perform the surgery together. "
It was very normal to organize multiple sutures for surgeries with multiple severed fingers. After all, they had to try their best to shorten the severed time. However, normal doctors might not be able to accept it if they asked someone from another department to perform the surgery in front of so many people.
Ma Yanlin quickly agreed and ran out to look for someone.
Ling Ran did not waste any time. He pulled out the X-ray scan and called out to Lu Wenbin. He said, "There are fractures at the base of the third and fifth palms of the right hand. The direct cross-section is also not neat. When you treat it later, pay attention to the fixation …"
Lu Wenbin was a little stronger. The exposed parts of his scrubs were all tendons. As he listened to Ling Ran's explanation, he nodded happily.
When Ling Ran was not around, Lu Wenbin's workload suddenly decreased. Every day, aside from his daily work shift, he only braised pig trotters and exercised.
To help his fitness, Lu Wenbin also developed new lightly braised beef and lightly braised chicken breasts. The so-called lightly braised beef was made with less salt and sauce. Even though it did not use soup, it still had other seasonings. It was not as pure as boiled chicken, but at least it was a proper food that people could eat.
With his reputation in the gym, Lu Wenbin's new products also sold very well. Most importantly, Lu Wenbin had accumulated enough energy to prepare for the moment when Ling Ran returned.
Now, he finally waited for it.
"It's not a problem. The position is a little bad, but it's not a problem." Lu Wenbin was so excited that he started to talk.
Ling Ran nodded and spoke a few more words with the X-ray scan in his hand. He had just obtained Perfect Level X-ray Scan Reading, and it was a waste to use it in this situation.
However, for a doctor at Lu Wenbin's level, Specialist Level X-ray Scan Reading was enough to defeat him.
Even the other attending physicians in the room were at most at Specialist Level Beginner or Intermediate Level. They were all doctors in the Emergency Department, and they had increased the number of scans they read over a long period of time. However, without sufficient strength in reading scans, they would definitely not be able to control the details.
Ling Ran did not have the desire to lecture, but he still tried his best to explain the situation to the patient in front of him.
Compared to the usual finger replantation surgeries that required two or three fingers, the burden on four fingers was much greater.
Soon, Wang Haiyang walked into the operating theater.
"Four fingers are severed?" Wang Haiyang licked his lips before he put on the surgical mask.
"They're severed diagonally," Ling Ran said and moved away to look at the scan.
Wang Haiyang nodded as he read.
He was much better at reading scans. Soon, he finished reading and asked, "How should we distribute them?"
"I'll make the index finger, and you make the ring finger," Ling Ran answered.
